Dear Sir,

I am siniiee wales separate cover a copy of
The Graduate Magazine. One of the teachers in McPherson
Senior High, a graduate of K. U. herself, knew that I
was interested in you and so she passed on to me her
copy of the magazine. The idea immediately popped into
my mind that I would like to have your autograph on the
front cover of it. Would you be kind enough to autograph
the magazine on the cover page and also at the top of

page seven and return it to me?
Now for a few bouquets tossed in your direction}!-

I have long admired you for your adroitness in handling
dificult situations. You have always been an outstanding
person in the basketball and also the rest of the sports
world in my estimation. Many have criticised you for
making various statements that they considered were
entirely out of line with the situations. I still
contend that you love to argue merely for the fun you
receive from hearing the big stories that the other
sec puts up. Nevertheless I think that you are a
swell fellow and you are one of my idols that I try
to pattern after.Enclosed are two three cent stamps ve
for you to use on the mailing of the magazine. May

your team have the best of §uc@ss = next year and

I hope that you have the best of luck .

Yours sincerely,

Wile plod
